So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you
               A
They're just gelignite, loaded and aiming right between your eyes

Em
CDs and T-shirts, promos God knows - oh!
     D
You know I couldn't last

Someone, please take me home

The teenagers, who love you, they will wake up, yawn and kill you

So don't let the blue, the blue eyes fool you

                D/F#
There's a cash register ringing and
A
It weighs so heavy on my back
A
Someone please take me home


Em
The critics who, can't break you
F
They somehow help to make you
Em
The critics who, can't break you

Unwittingly they make you

So don't let the good days, of the gold discs, creep up and mug you
         A
No, no - No, no, no-oh!


      A
With evil legal eagles, you know I couldn't last
A
accountants rampant, you know I couldn't last
A
Every -ist and every -ism, thrown my way to stay
A
And the northern leeches go on, removing, removing, removing


F
Then in the end, your royalties bring you luxuries, your royalties bring you
G
luxuries, oh but
